It is the combination of angle awareness and choreographed movement with the concealed card(s) that, when combined with proper execution of the steal and add-on techniques, that determines the overall deceptiveness of Palming techniques.

I am in the process of completing a major book, titled "A Call to Palms," which should be available within about a month--illustrations and the index remain to be completed. The book will not be targeted toward beginners but it comes about as close to being a comprehensive overview of the subject of Palming as anything previously published.

I was searching for one handed top palm tips and came across this post.

I know it is rather old, but i also have small hands. My fingers aren't long at all, but they are wide, so I have odd issues from time to time and have to modify things.

For a long time I avoided palming but something that helped me was really studying what my hand looked like when naturally grasping a deck (that sounds so weird) and making sure that when I had a palmed card that my hand looked exactly or as close as possible to the natural position.

I pretty much disregarded what I read as far as "where" the card should be and adjusted to where it should be for MY hand.

Here is just a little video showing that process a bit without narration or anything.

Save your money and get LORAYNE: THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Vol. 2 - my favorite of the five volumes. and heading toward out of print. When ready, go to my website - you can order from there - or contact me personally. Don' miss out.
